1. The politician's comments on his opponents were extremely critical at what he termed their bia and unfairness. 2. To balance next year's budget, the government nees either to increase taxes greatly or it has to slash spending. 3. Some relatives of mine like staying at their cabin on lake omega every summer holidays they get. 4. Why so many students graduate from high school without adequate skills in reading and mathematics are questions that continue to trouble american educators. 5. The government is believed to be considering to pass a law making it a crime to import any kind of weapon. the high-lighted choices are my answers. Can anyone give me an explanation?

The answer is "any". A question from toefl success, rite? Certain and some are incorrect because of the meaning. The possible answers are A and B. I think it is B because the writer wants to emphasize that people, old and young alike, may suffer from defects of vision.

All of you guys are really lucky, believe me. Actually, I could not find my name on the list. They say that since the total number of the test-takers this time is so overwhelming that there is no room for me although i registered at the beginning of November. I cried a lot :(( cuz I worked really hard, preparing for this test and I dont want to take the IBT test. However, it is said that they may hold another PBP test for people like me in May. Still hoping.....

Topic: Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Attending a live performance (for example, a play, a concert, pr supporting event) is more enjoyable than watching the same event on television. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion. Work: Although there are many people who are ready to spend a great deal of time queueing up to get a ticket for a live performance, I prefer staying at home, watching the same event on television. What is safer, cheaper and more convenient than staying at your comfortable house and still enjoy the show? There is no doubt that watching the performance on TV is much more comfortable. You can sit back on your familiar sofa and have some favorite food to eat while watching the program. If you are tired, you may lie down on your nice and warm bed to have a rest but still be able to enjoy the show. You may even tune into other channels if the performance does not come up to your expectations. You absolutely enjoy yourself while watching the performance at home. Also watching the show on TV is safer. If you go to a live show, especially a rock concert, which is always chaotic and turbulent, you are likely to be pushed by a dense crowd and therefore get injured or even be robbed. There is no such fear when you watch the show at home because the only thing you have to do is turn on the TV when it starts and turn off when it finishes. Last but not least, staying at home and watch the performance on TV is cheaper. The cost for a live show is often considerable high. You will have to pay for not only for the ticket itself but also addttional fees such as parking. Expensive as it is, you may sometimes not enjoy the show because it is too crowded to get a good view for the stage. If you stay at home, all you have to spend on the show is time, which is also less than the amount of time you spend on the live show because there is no such time as getting to the place and returning home after the show. To sum up, because of the fact that watching the live performance is not as safe, comfortable and cheap as watching the same event on TV, I rarely go out for any live show. Thanks for reading. Hope that you guys wont be fed up with my essay:rolleyes:
